Sam Soliman looks like a tough, capable fighter – but nowhere near the quality of a Winky Wright. Among Soliman’s losses: Howard Eastman (acceptable); Anthony Mundine (acceptable); and Glen Kelly (not acceptable). If you remember, it was Kelly who was knocked out by a faded Roy Jones Jr. a few years back – after Jones’ hands were momentarily behind his back. Like last month’s predictable dance between Floyd Mayweather and Sharmba Mitchell, you have to wonder why this fight is happening. And why we’re watching. It was fun seeing Wright dominate Trinidad. Against Soliman, it will just be boring. Winky by unanimous decision.
